I'll say I find Instant a tremendous value. In my area our Movie Gallery closed and our Blockbuster is full of 1000 copies of the mainstream Hollywood crap. Movie Gallery had a great selection of not quite A quality titles, Blockbuster does not. That said we have Redbox, that stays empty and Blockbuster is useless. I'm planning on increasing my Netflix to 2 disc at time and swear off the rest. Can't wait for this application to go native.

Rejoice, PS3 owners, your Netflix streaming experience just got vastly better than anything else on the market. Starting October 18 Netflix on the PS3 will no longer require a disc, and it'll stream some content with 1080i 1080p resolution and / or 5.1-channel surround audio, while everyone else will be stuck with a max of 720p stereo for the time being.

i live in the US. and i created a canadian account. logged in that account. and in the xmb, under the 'whats new" section i clicked on the netflix icon. it took me to the PS store and i downloaded the netflix app 2.0 19mb. i deleted that canadian account and went back to my original US account. the netflix icon is still there in the video section of the xmb but it wont work until monday or tuesday.

Installed the app just now. I went to the 'What's New' section of the XMB, and there was a Netflix icon linking me to a PS Store download.

Once installed I gave it a quick try, and just about everything is an improvement over the streaming disk. It loads faster, you can fast forward and rewind faster, and it starts playing your selection more quickly. Just about an improvement in every way. I am very glad that the exclusivity agreement with MS expired. It was a long wait, but it was worth it.
